Description

On a sunny day back in May of 1976, I went with my dad to his office. He was only going to work for a few hours, then we were going fishing. To kill some time, I went over to the drugstore across the street. There I discovered something life changing -- science fiction magazines!

I was a big SF fan already by that time (just short of my 13th birthday) but I had no idea that SF mags existing. I bought the issues they had of F&SF, Analog, Amazing and Fantastic. Later that summer, I went with my mom to a garage sale, and found digests from the 1950's and 1960's for the first time. Most were F&SF, but there were a handful of Fantastics and Amazings in the stack. I bought 'em all, and the seller even threw in for free a coverless copy of Fantastic Adventures Quarterly, the first pulp I'd ever seen.

Among those couple issues of Fantastic was the August 1961 issue, featuring a cool Leo Summers cover for Poul Anderson's "Goodbye Atlantis." Needless to say, I was very pleased when I was able to acquire the original painting a few years ago.
